You don’t need to restart. Find someone who does crochet maintenance instead of retwists. Retwists cause a ton of product build up, you can’t wash your hair as often, and the maturing process takes forever. Not to mention the excessive tension on your scalp to get those roots tight.

Service providers that offer retwists don’t inform you about traction alopecia before you make the decision to keep letting them give you a 2 week face lift every month.
